Golf Equipment
Monday, January 1, 2007 Accessories Buyer's Guide 2006Accessories take many forms, but the most important are the bag, performance eyewear and a quality rangefinder Golf accessories run aplenty in the Golf Tips offices, and they’re a big part of the game. But after you sift through the multiple cigar butt/puttershaft holders, groove cleaners, face-mark indicators, ball retrievers, sunblock applicators, iron head covers, ball markers and scorecard holders, you’ll discover that only three items are true must-have golf accessories: bags, golf-specific eyewear and rangefinders. |
Monday, January 1, 2007 Shoes Buyer's Guide 2006Still wondering what piece of new golf equipment you must have to play your best in ?06? Look no further than the bottom of your feet. Golf shoes are just as vital as any club in your bag. They stabilize you, help you leverage your body against the turf and, most importantly, provide gripping support and comfort to protect your feet for the duration of the round. Today’s golf footwear features the kind of technology previously reserved for hiking boots, running and walking shoes and even climbing shoes—all wrapped up in one advanced piece of golf equipment. |
Monday, January 1, 2007 Grips Buyer's Guide 2006If you quickly and relatively inexpensively want to improve the way your clubs look, feel and perform, try a new grip As is the case with all categories of golf equipment, new materials and technologies have vastly improved the quality and feel of modern grips, and there now are a number of cord-style grips that feel as soft as velvet models, but with the added tack cord provides. For golfers with sensitive hands, or who simply prefer a soft feel, a buffed, velvet-style grip still is the top choice. |
Monday, January 1, 2007 Balls Buyer's Guide 2006As golf balls become more advanced, the majority have adopted the three-piece design. The question becomes ?What mantle fits your style?? Golf ball fact: Most of the multi-layer, urethane-covered, high-performance models won’t provide significant benefits for anyone who swings the driver less than 100 mph. These models are built with cores and mantle materials that require a lot of compression in order to create the desired high velocity. |
Friday, December 1, 2006 Fairway Woods Buyer's Guide 2006Today's fairway woods have tons of technology and an array of features that make them a must from the tee, fairway and rough. Don't miss out. The driver is the star of the golf club world, and as such, gets seemingly all the attention, all the kudos and all the technological advancements. As a result, for a lot of golfers fairway woods have become nothing more than afterthoughts that are needed simply to fill out their collection of clubs. This approach is a definite mistake, and one that should be immediately exchanged for one that views fairway clubs as critical members of every golfer’s arsenal. |
Friday, December 1, 2006 Wedges Buyer's Guide 2006 If your equipment had superheros, the wedges would be Clark Kent. At first glance, they’re nothing special. But when you’re in trouble, your wedges become Superman, helping you out of tough situations. Today’s models are true life-savers, and they don’t need a telephone booth. |

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 The ReplacementsNo longer considered a novelty, the hybrid club has developed a new reputation as the go-to shotmaker from the fairway, the rough and, believe it or not, around the green. If you’re supposed to hit down on the ball with your irons and slightly up on the ball with your woods, what in the world do you do with a hybrid club? |
